Best way to see big trees and beaches in the Port Renfrew area
Day Trip Drea - Day Tours的点评
点评：I think this may be the very first time I've ever hired a guide during any of our big vacations. After researching the Port Renfrew area, I started to get a vibe that accessing some of the big tree trails was going to be a chore, even in a rented 4WD SUV. I'm not bashful about driving on horrible backroads, but some of these logging roads sounded pretty bad. My communication via email with Drea before the trip was fantastic. I told her what we were wanting to do, and she built a full day trip just for us. I'm pescatarian but mostly vegetarian, so she prepared us both a veggie sandwich lunch that was fantastic. If you even hesitate due to the per person price, you should not worry one bit. She has a very well equipped 4WD vehicle, and knows the back logging roads like the back of her hand. We visited the Lower Avatar Grove, Big Lonely Doug, and Eden Grove during the first part of our day. Drea has worked with a lot of the big tree conservation people in the area, and she knows a great deal of info about the local ecology. There's a big movement underway on Vancouver Island to protect the old growth out there, so now is the time to go out and see the biggest trees in the entire province and probably all of Canada.
Avatar Grove is just filled with people most of the time, because it is so easy to get to. Once you turn off the mainline rood and head up to Big Lonely Doug, the people disappear. Nothing prepares you for that first view of Doug from the gravel road. The short hike down is pretty steep but easy, and has a spectacular payoff at the base of one of the two biggest Douglas Firs in the world. Just a little farther down the road is Eden Grove, which is just beyond comprehension. It is filled with old growth Western Red Cedar that has some of the most complex root and crown structures I've ever seen in any tree. Right by the trailhead is another massive Douglas Fir, too.
Drea capped off our great day out with a trip south down to Sombrio Beach and its hidden slot canyon waterfall. What an amazing day, and a fantastic guide! I'll also add that she came and picked us up right on time at our rented cottage in Handsome Dan's and then dropped us right back off at our doorstep after we were done. If you are planning on a trip to the Port Renfrew area, you should absolutely consider booking a trip with Drea.

翻译：我认为这可能是我第一次在我们的大假期期间聘请向导。在研究了 Port Renfrew 地区后，我开始觉得进入一些大树径将是一件苦差事，即使是租来的 4WD SUV。我对在可怕的小路上开车并不害羞，但其中一些伐木道路听起来很糟糕。我在旅行前通过电子邮件与 Drea 进行的交流非常棒。我告诉她我们想做什么，她就为我们安排了一整天的旅行。我是素食主义者，但主要是素食主义者，所以她为我们俩准备了一顿非常棒的素食三明治午餐。如果您甚至因人均价格而犹豫，您也不用担心。她有一辆装备精良的 4WD 车辆，对后方的伐木道路了如指掌。我们在一天的第一部分参观了 Lower Avatar Grove、Big Lonely Doug 和 Eden Grove。 Drea 曾与该地区的许多大树保护人员合作过，她对当地生态了解很多。温哥华岛上正在进行一场保护旧树的大运动，所以现在是时候出去看看整个省乃至整个加拿大最大的树木了。
Avatar Grove 大部分时间都挤满了人，因为它很容易到达。一旦你关闭主线道路并前往 Big Lonely Doug，人们就会消失。从碎石路上看到道格的第一眼景色，您毫无准备。短途徒步非常陡峭但容易，并且在世界上最大的两个花旗松之一的底部有一个惊人的回报。再往前走一点就是 Eden Grove，简直无法理解。它充满了古老的西部红柏，具有一些我在任何树中见过的最复杂的根和树冠结构。紧挨着小道的是另一个巨大的道格拉斯冷杉。
Drea 向南前往 Sombrio 海滩及其隐藏的狭缝峡谷瀑布，结束了我们美好的一天。多么美好的一天，多么棒的向导！我还要补充一点，她准时来到我们在 Handsome Dan's 租来的小屋接我们，然后在我们完成后把我们送回我们家门口。如果您计划前往 Port Renfrew 地区旅行，您绝对应该考虑预订 Drea 的旅行。
